Azure Data Lake Storage

Azure Data Lake Storage is a highly scalable and cost-effective data lake solution for big data analytics. Data Lake Storage Gen2 extends Azure Blob Storage capabilities and is optimized for analytics workloads. EFT Event Rules allow you to store files in or monitor for added files in Azure's Data Lake generation 2 (ADLSg2), so that you can reduce cost when compared with saving files into a standard blob storage.

Containers created with ADLSg2 support can be monitored by a Folder Monitor Event as long as the Azure container credentials and Active Directory domain trust relationship is enabled.

To use a Folder Monitor Event to monitor an Azure file share, be sure to enable the VFS override and create a virtual folder that points to the Azure file share path.
